My only Nero, obliterated by Galba (recently posted, but what the heck, I only have one!): [ATTACH] Nero / Galba Æ As (63 A.D.; c/m 69 A.D.)...
Nice one, Roman Collector. I recently got a Gallienus Ant. with SECVRIT ORBIS - it is a HOG at almost 6 grams. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Gallienus Æ...
I can only dream. Thanks for sharing these.
I think that top one is indeed Heraclius flanked by his son Her. Con. and wife Martina. Something similar to this one in my collection:...
The Philip I or II problem cropped up in my collection with an Antioch antoninianus a while back -...
Ken, I feel your pain. Same thing happened to me yesterday - found a $30 "buy it now" for a rather nice RR denarius in an NGC slab, which...
Nice coin and nice write up. Severus Alexander portraits can be a bit bland sometimes, but this is a really nice one.
It might be a bit worn and scratched, but it is very attractive - a nice warm cabinet tone makes up for a lot of flaws (for me, anyway). Nice catch.
Thank you all for your nice comments. I've really been enjoying the background research on this one. Richard Baker has some information on why...

Great write-up and nice overstrikes, Caesar_Augustus. Keep up the good work.
Thank you all for your help, and other examples. I think Roman Collector hit the nail on the head - my coin is a light-weight sestertius, for a...
I know it can be tough determining an As vs. a Dupondius, especially for empresses, but I have never been confused by a Sestertius vs. Dupondius....
I recently obtained a fairly ratty Faustina I denarius with a throne and peacock. At first I was going to pass on it, until I figured out it was...
I completely understand, 1934 Wreath Crown. The very first Greek coin I ever owned was bought back in 1987, a drachm of Alexander the Great...
Interesting, zumbly. That this is Juno Sospita's last appearance interests me - I've been reading around on the decline and changes to Rome's...
Countermarks are never ugly in my opinion.
Heck yeah to the ugly coin off! I love the ugly ones too!
[ATTACH] This is so ugly I hesitate to post it, but it came in a lot of sestertii today (averaging about $7 each) and while trying to attribute...
